Quick TakeForget subtle whispers; the Chronoswiss Q-Repeater Scream shouts its mechanical artistry from the wrist. This isn't just a watch; it's a kinetic sculpture, a riot of color and complexity limited to a daring few. The Grade 5 titanium case feels impossibly light yet robust, a modern frame for the wild spectacle within. Look closely – the movement isn't hidden; it is the dial, a multi-layered universe of CVD-coated bridges, visible gears, and those audacious "chicken head" Super-LumiNova blocks promising a vibrant after-dark show. Central minutes sweep above, while hours and small seconds occupy their own distinct zones. But the real party trick? Press the pusher at 10, and the watch sings its time, hammers striking gongs in a clear chime – a quarter repeater function laid bare for all to see. It's horology unbound, a fusion of traditional complication and avant-garde design, finished with incredible detail right down to the hand-guilloched bridges and Viking-shaped hands. Secured by a grey Nubuk strap with vibrant Alcantara lining, the Scream is pure, unadulterated watchmaking passion made audible and visible.

DescriptionThe Q-Repeater Scream, reference CH-1663T-COL, presents a complex mechanical execution housed within a meticulously crafted Grade 5 titanium case. This case material, chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, undergoes both grinding and polishing processes to achieve contrasting surface textures. Physical dimensions measure 42mm in diameter, a height of 16.2mm, and a lug-to-lug distance of 50mm, accommodating a strap width of 22mm via screwed links for enhanced security. The bezel is polished and features a distinctive fluted decorative ring, framing a boxed sapphire crystal treated with anti-reflective coatings on both sides to ensure optimal legibility under various lighting conditions. Water resistance is rated to 3 bar (approximately 30 meters), suitable for incidental exposure to moisture but not submersion. Case integrity is further maintained by a screwed case back, finished with satin brushing and incorporating a sapphire crystal window for movement observation. An onion-style crown facilitates winding and setting, while a dedicated pusher positioned at 10 o'clock activates the quarter repeater complication. Internal structural support is provided by a skeletonized movement holder, also constructed from titanium and treated with a Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) coating for increased surface hardness and a specific aesthetic finish.

Powering the Q-Repeater Scream is the Chronoswiss legacy caliber C.126, an automatic movement engineered with a dial-side quarter repeater mechanism. This complication utilizes two gongs and hammers, visible through the dial aperture, to audibly chime the current hour and quarter-hour upon activation via the 10 o'clock pusher; an "all or nothing" safety system prevents partial or incorrect chiming sequences. The base movement operates at a frequency of 3 Hz (21,600 vibrations per hour) and provides a power reserve of approximately 35 hours when fully wound. It incorporates 42 jewels to minimize friction at critical points. Timekeeping regulation is achieved through a Glucydur balance wheel, noted for its stability across temperature variations, paired with a Nivarox 1 flat balance spring. Fine adjustments are made via an eccentric mechanism, and the Incabloc system provides shock protection for the balance assembly. Finishing details are extensive: the skeletonized rotor features a ball bearing system and Côte de Genève polishing; pallets, the pallet wheel, and screws are polished; the bottom plate and various bridges exhibit circular graining (perlage); ruby settings incorporate gold-plated facets; rear bridge surfaces display Côte de Genève polish; edges are meticulously braked and polished; and the front-side bridges receive hand-guilloché decoration, CVD coating, and are finished with hand-beveling and polishing. The movement holder itself forms part of the dial architecture, featuring ceramic Super-LumiNova blocks shaped distinctively like "chicken heads" for the Scream edition, providing multicolor emission in low light. A galvanic hour ring incorporates rectangular ceramic Super-LumiNova blocks. The small second subdial ring at 6 o'clock is also CVD-coated, complementing the skeletonized bridges and visible repeater components.
